Describe a futures trading idea the way you'd say it out loud "Buy MNQ when it drops 1% below yesterday's close" and AskFutures runs a real historical backtest in seconds: equity curve, win rate, drawdown, trade-by-trade ledger. No code. Test the trade before you take it.
Typed in "buy MNQ after a 1% drop" just to see what happens and got a full equity curve plus trade ledger in like 10 seconds. Honestly didn't expect the drawdown breakdown to be this readable.
honestly the voice-to-backtest thing is kind of cool, dropped a quick idea in and got an equity curve in seconds. wish the drawdown readout was a bit easier to read on mobile but overall solid for testing stuff before committing.
Typed in a rough MNQ pullback idea and got back a full equity curve with drawdown in under a minute, actually impressed by how natural the plain English input feels.
Would love to see walk-forward validation built in so the backtest automatically splits data into in-sample and out-of-sample periods. That way you know if "buy MNQ on a 1% dip" actually held up or just worked on the chunk you tested.
honestly this is really cool, been wanting something like this forever. one thing i'd love is letting you stack multiple conditions in one rule, like "buy MNQ when it drops 1% AND rsi is below 30" so you can actually filter setups the way you'd think about them.
Finally a backtest tool that doesn't make me open TradingView at 2am. Typed something like "long ES on morning breakout" and got an actual equity curve with the drawdown I would've eaten last month. Kinda wild how fast it runs.
